TOM MARSHALL'S FINE.
Remitted by the Judge for Good and Suifi.
Client Reasons.

Remitted by the udge for Good and Sufii-
Client Reasons.
Tom Marshall was the wittiest man Ken
lucky ever produced, and perhaps the
brainiest, and he perished intellectually,
like many another child of genius, from
the rapid growth of his fondness of blue
grass whiskey. He was always political
rival of Rev. DR.. Robt. J Breckenridge,
the eminent patriot, whose dignified pres
ence as temporary president of the Balti-
more Convention, which nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln, for a second term, Is still
remembered Tom Marshall was fond of
saying "that he and Rev. DR.. Brecken-
ridge early in life had taken different
texts" Toms twas the bottle and DR..
Breckenridge's was the Bible" and GER
tainly, added Tom, 1.-THE Rev. Doctor will
not deny that have closely adhered to
my text"
In the county in which the immortal
Tom chiefly practiced at the bar an erratic
jurist named Judge Nuttle presided, and
whenever Dan Rlce's circus arrived the
Judge always announced:
This court will now adjourn to see
the elephant swim the Ohio river"
In cause cele ore, here the defendant
was tried for murder, possibly the Matt
Ward case, the Judge admitted some tes
timony which thoroughly disgusted Tom
Marshall over the barrister's objectians.
He jumped to his feet, not fully recovered
from big game of draw poker the night
before, and said, in anger:
Judge, do you know that Pontius Plate
convicted Jesus Christ by admitting just
such testimony as that?
The Judge quickly replied: "Clerk,
fine Mr.. Marshall fifty dollars for con-
tempt of COURT
Tom rose, and steadYing his somewhat
vibratory motions against the railing
fronting the judges bench, with mock
gravity, opened:
"May it please your honor, it has been
some months since | have seen fifty dol
lors of my own money. beg your honor
to lend me the money with which to pay
the tine"'
The court" was astounded, but catch
ing its judicial breath, replied, soto
voice:
"Mr. Clerk, upon reflection, the court
is inclined to remit Tom Marshall's fine,
as the state of Kentucky is better able to
loose that fifty dollars than the court is. y
